Anyone have any real-world experience in terms of how adjusting video quality affects battery life? I have not had my system very long, but spent some time on the "optimized" setting before bumping up to the "best video" setting. As of yet, no apparent change to battery life.
Anyone with more long-term experience?

I think what you would see is less transmit of data ( saving power) due to rez being lower.... a guess
Never ran it there.

Right - I understand the principle as far as why lower quality would result in longer battery life. I'm interested on how dramatic the difference in battery life might be, if anyone has experience.

Frankly, I haven't seen any difference but it hasn't been in a controlled test. If best quality give you an extra day or two, you'd be hard-pressed to see it in real life, especially since the number of videos is very likely to change from one test to another.

My batteries only lasted less than 3 weeks on the very best video quality. When set to battery life, I'm getting 6 weeks. Still not very good. Batteries are expensive.
